Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy: Cornell 1964
by Mark F. Turner
The hype factor was cranked up considerably in 2005 for the unearthed recording of two jazz legends: John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk's At Carnegie Hall (Blue Note). Things have cooled down a tad since that momentous release but just as exciting and equally important is Cornell 1964 featuring the Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy.
Pat Martino: El Hombre
by Jim Santella
Recorded May 1, 1967, this session was Pat Martino's first album as leader. His guitar moves valiantly with all the swagger of a cowboy; smoking guns and flying fingers dot the landscape of his trail. The allusion, of course, is to Paul Newman's Western film Hombre that came out the same year. Both ...
Bruce Hornsby: Camp Meeting
by Troy Collins
Camp Meeting, pianist Bruce Hornsby's high profile jazz trio session with heavyweight bassist Christian McBride and iconic drummer Jack DeJohnette, may seem to have materialized out of thin air, but don't you believe them. Hornsby has been gradually building to this statement his whole career. Last year's retrospective boxed set, Intersections (RCA), revealed the ...

Jacky Terrasson: Mirror
by Mark Corroto
If you had to write a headline for the career of Jacky Terrasson it might be “from brash to brilliant." The forty-something pianist took the jazz world by storm, winning the Thelonious Monk piano competition in 1993 only to make some impetuous records that wowed you with his talent. But they didn't register high with their ...
Robert Irving III: Gaining Momentum
by R.J. DeLuke
Robert Irving III is a keyboard player known in different quarters for different things. He played electric, of course, as a young man in the band Miles Davis unveiled when he decided to return to performing in 1980 after his infamous five-year hiatus. He produced albums with Miles, but also Sting, Carlos Santana, Dianne Reeves, Branford ...
Men At Work: Live Sets From Bill Charlap & Steve Kuhn
by C. Andrew Hovan
A perfect locale for the jazz improviser, remote recordings allow for a degree of expression and creativity that often goes beyond the more controlled atmosphere of a recording studio. Over the years, it has almost become a rite of passage for jazz musicians to pick an iconic jazz venue and then set up the equipment to ...
Joachim Kuhn and Majid Bekkas with Ramon Lopez: Kalimba
by John Kelman
While it's easy to categorize the assimilation of diverse musical cultures as world music, the term has become over-utilized and often misrepresented. German-born pianist Joachim Kühn, Moroccan guimbri/oud player Majid Bekkas and Spanish drummer Ramon Lopez intersect on Kalimba, an album that should dispense with oversimplified categorization. Instead, assessed on its own merits as an album ...
Bruce Hornsby: Camp Meeting
by Mark F. Turner
The funny thing about roots is that you don't know how they really look until you shake loose all of the dirt. Who knew that the “popular music" pianist/songwriter/singer, Bruce Hornsby, was a jazz musician at heart? Many may recall the Grammy Award winning artist from his 1986 platinum hit and album of the same title ...
